I got really thirsty one cruise and drank it all. Sorry 'bout that.

[Joie]

thanks.....I wondered where it all went......

Red punch was staining everything up so they did away with it. A long time ago on Johns blog he said it may be replaced with some other kind.I know they make fruit punch without color but nothing has been done to replace the punch.:rolleyes:

I believe I read on the cruise critic boards that too many people were using it to mix with their smuggled booze and not buying mixed drinks from the bar. Yet another reason smuggling booze hurts those of us who don't smuggle. I always buy my drinks from the bar, but then again I am not a "heavy" drinker. I usually drink only one or two frozen rum type drinks a day. Sure wish we had fruit punch, I would drink that instead of getting a soda card.

That'll probably go over about as well as the Heinz green or purple ketchup experiment a few years ago... it may taste the same but Red punch is, well... supposed to be Red!

[Joie]

the lemonade is Waaaayyyy too sour....I have to use sugar packets to be able to drink it...so I mostly choose water .... for the buffet anyway.

[Joie]

Oh yeah I agree...the green and purple really is not very appetizing......

Even if they would have some other drink besides lemonade.....

So let me get this right...it was partially cuz they were spilled....I also see people spilling the strawberry margaritas and other bright red and blue drinks......but don't see them taking those away.

You can still get the fruit punch by using the soda card or for paying it.

Is this number 5 or 6 thread this week on the current status of punch on Carnival ships?

[Joie]

Sorry traveler.....didn't read the other and didn't mean to bore anyone.

The punch is more important than you think, I guess. My DH was pretty bummed when he read about it. I liked to drink it with lunch, but I can drink water, tea, and sugared lemonade too.

Did you try the search feature for your question? I bet it has a couple hundred posts on the fruit punch.

We got told in June on the Glory that it was because it was causing too

many stains in the carpet.

It was removed as a "free" beverage because those who smuggle booze used it for mixing drinks.

 

As usual, the actions of a few effect all.

 

You can still get the punch at any bar......and pay for it.

Yes i would also like to know where that info came from.

[mysh442olds]

Then why don't they just do away with all juices available for free forever? And the coffee, milk and ice cream while we're at it? No longer be able to carry on sodas of our choice. Nothing free but tap water.... That should stop it all. :rolleyes:

i'm guessing you long-timers have run into ol' G'ma a time or two... do tell!

For our Ecstasy Jan 28 cruise, took a container of premixed punch-flavored (sugar already in the mix) drink mix just because I had read that the punch was gone and was worried I would miss it. Never opened the container. The fruit flavored orange colored juice drink available in the morning (can't remember the exact flavor) was an adequate sweet juice drink fix. Could imagine that a drink bottle filled at breakfast would last all day.
